<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The Samford University Elite Camp had many standouts participating. Here are a few that caught my eye…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982813,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Rashad-Bryant-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Rashad-Bryant-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982813" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1599938' first='Rashad' last='Bryant'] </strong>(6'7/G|F/'25/Shades Valley HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: Etshadxo</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @RashadBryant_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Rashad is a lengthy wing player that impacted both ends of the floor. He is a two-way player that played with consistency throughout the day. Offensively he was attacking off the bounce and finishing in the paint and at the rim. He was out and running in transition and was a good finisher on the break. He is very athletic and was active and completely engaged even when he was on the bench. He did show that he could score the rock at all levels and that he is a highly active player on the glass. He has to get stronger, but I do see him being a productive piece of the Mounties' success next year.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982814,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Devon-McKinnon-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Devon-McKinnon-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982814" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1342754' first='Devon' last='McKinnon'] </strong>(6'3/Wing/'25) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: nolimit0dev</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @devonmckinnon_5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Devon has been in several of my articles, and I have covered him for the past two years. I was excited to see him at camp and to see him compete on that level. I was a little disappointed as I did not see the play that made Devon one of the most exciting prospects in his class. He did not do much to separate himself from the majority. Knowing his caliber of talent, he could have really moved the needle when it came to his stock. He showed flashes, but from my vantage point, he did not show what was all in the bag.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982815,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Bryant-James-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Bryant-James-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982815" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1398642' first='Bryant' last='James']</strong> (6'0/CG/'25/Haleyville HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: bryantj_13</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @bryant_james10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Bryant is a dynamic playmaker and scorer who had a very productive camp. I have put a lot of ink on Bryant, and he has lived up to all of the press he has gotten over the past two years. He showed that he has a reliable off-the-dribble jumper, and he attacked the rim with great purpose. Even though it was camp, he provided clutch scoring in the 5v5 games. Bryant is a respected offensive weapon, and I can see that he is getting faster and more explosive. The biggest news surrounding Bryant is his transfer to Florence HS, which I will dive into later.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982816,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Cooper-Gann-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Cooper-Gann-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982816" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1960912' first='Cooper' last='Gann']</strong> (5'10/PG/'26/Spain Park HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: cooper3g</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @CooperGann3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I have been watching Cooper for some time, and all he has done is continue to get better every time I have seen him. I have not put much ink on him, but he has been in my line of sight at every event that I have been at in which he was playing. He is a young and developing PG whose strength right now is his vision, passing skills, and court awareness. He is small, so he has to continue to get stronger and faster, but he is showing the needed skillset to be a budding PG. I will continue to keep my eye on his development as I have been.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982817,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-BJ-Brown-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-BJ-Brown-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982817" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>BJ Brown</strong> (5'11/PG/'26/Christian Brothers HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: bj.brown10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @bj_brown10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">BJ is a young PG that is really crafty with the rock. He knows how to pick apart opponents, as he has really good set-up moves and does a good job changing speeds and changing directions. He did a good job generating offense for himself, but he looked his most comfortable orchestrating for others. He has good situational awareness, and his play allows others around him to blossom.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1982823,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Samuel-Holt-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/PH-Samuel-Holt-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1982823" width="256" height="256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Samuel Holt</strong> (6'4/SF/'24/American Christian Academy) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Samuel_holt30</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @Samuel_Holt33</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Samuel showed an all-around game that impacted both ends of the floor. He functions as a triple-threat player that got it done as a shooter, passer, and driver. He is very poised with the rock in his hands, which is expected from a rising senior with experience. He is a reliable ball-handler and showed his offensive versatility. Sam can spread the floor with his shooting but also open things up with his slashing and creation off of the dribble. He really had a productive camp, and if he can get in front of the right eyes, he can possibly work his way into a program at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
